6. The Government, and the Government only, must determine not only if an item is commercial but also if the commercial prices are Fair and Reasonable. This is usually accomplished through proof that commercial market forces have driven the setting of the commercial price.

Is your company willing and able to provide such proof, if the government determines it is needed to verify price reasonableness: |_| Yes |_| No

NOTE: Without proof of commerciality a LP project cannot be processed as a commercial procurement (FAR Part 12), but will rather be processed using non-commercial procurement procedures (FAR Part 15).
